PHP run static method before each static function -

i want able call function automatically before function invoked. problem __callstatic runs if method not exist.

see code below.

i want make always_run() run before function called in static class.

class test {      public static function __callstatic($method, $parameters){         echo __class__ . "::" . $method;         if (method_exists(__class__, $method)) {             self::always_run();             forward_static_call_array(array(__class__,$method),$args);         }     }      public static function always_run() {         echo "always_run";     }      public static function my_func() {         echo "myfunc called";     }  }  test::my_func(); // output: always_run myfunc wascalled 

creating static classes such have global state bad design. should creating object, can run sort of set code need in constructor.

class test {     public function __construct()     {         // code run once when object constructed.     } } 

static state makes such classes difficult test , maintain. static classes cannot mocked, code depends on class cannot independently tested.
